“Alligator Craft Ideas”/ Do Alligators Smile?

56dbf1c8 Alligator Craft Ideas/ Do Alligators Smile?

When I was a very small child I used to have this nightmare about alligators. They would show up in my bedroom window about three am and smile at me. So when I saw this alligator heading my way awhile back with a big smile on his face I told Beth we needed to call room service later for a couple of sheets of plywood. I had a few ideas about alligator crafts.

She just looked at me with one of those adorable expressions that signal it’s time to change the subject. But there is just something so primordial about this animal. He just makes the hair stand up on my neck while the rest of me is not satisfied with standing and insists on running away. Beth’s parents have a place in Florida and when we go for walks through the neighborhood there’s always a couple of gators watching from just a few feet away. And nobody asks them to leave unless they become irritated and eat something larger than a football.

So today we are going to move away from pictures of cute little birds and focus on animals that would like to have us for dinner. But let’s be fair. They were here millions of years before the cavemen arrived. If they want to follow me around that’s fine. But they are going to have to get in line behind my insurance agent. And after ten pm all bets are off.
